Summary
Based on the teardown the repairability of the Asus ROG Phone 9 seems to be quite low. The use of adhesive for the back cover battery and screen makes it difficult to access and replace these components. Additionally several components and cables need to be removed for disassembly and metal plates over cable connectors need to be removed as well. This adds to the complexity and difficulty of repairing the device. Overall I would give the repairability of the Asus ROG Phone 9 a score of 3.0 out of 10.
